Part 6: Washu!

1 PM

Tenchi came in the house, having just finished his chores, which had been building up over the past few days. Sweat was running down his face. "Well, that's taken care of," he told himself as he removed his shoes. "Taking those days off to spend with Ryoko and Ayeka really made the work pile up for me, but now I can relax and enjoy the rest of my vacation in peace." Tenchi sat down on the couch, closing his eyes. He was totally at peace, which was a rarity when you lived with six alien girls who all wanted a piece of your time.

"Hi, Tenchi," a high pitched voice chimed. Tenchi's eyes shot open. There, standing, staring into his face was Washu, only a few inches away.

"Ah!" Tenchi shouted. "Oh, it's you Washu... Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"Sorry, Tenchi, but I'm glad to see you aren't up to anything. I've been looking for you," she said, still leaning toward Tenchi.

"Why is that, Washu?" Tenchi asked nervously.

"Well, you see Tenchi. I was hoping to spend the day analyzing you. After all, a young man living in a house with six alien girls all the time needs to make sure his health is good. Who knows what kind of things you might have caught, especially after what Ryoko told us you did together two nights ago. I didn't think you were so forward Tenchi...," lied Washu. The best way she knew to get Tenchi to do what she wanted was to force him to disprove a rumor, or something of that nature.

Tenchi leapt to his feet taking a defensive tone, " Wha-What did Ryoko say we did, now? We didn't do anything. The only thing that happened was Ryoko kissed my cheek."

"Ooooo! She kissed your cheek! That is so romantic, but from what we were all told a few nights ago, a lot more than just kissing went on."

"That's not true!" Tenchi pleaded. "If you don't believe me why don't you check her memory, you can hear her thoughts can't you!"

"Well...," Washu began turning away, "normally I could, but since I didn't check the night she told us, and she's still sleeping off a hang over..." Washu walked a few steps toward her lab, letting Tenchi freak out. "There is only one way, Tenchi, that I can see that will clear everything up." Again Washu paused, playing head games with Tenchi was one of her favorite things to do.

Tenchi waited for Washu to speak again, but the small genius was quiet. He knew whatever it was Washu had planned, it would not be good.

"I'm going to have to have you come to my lab, that way I can do my analysis. Plus we can check your memory to see who was lying." Washu stated professionally. She knew Ryoko lied about her day with Tenchi, or at least exaggerated a lot, and that even Ryoko didn't go as far as Washu made it sound.

"Ryoko may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she is still my daughter. She knows no one would buy a story about her and Tenchi sleeping together." Washu thought. [I generally prefer to use OVA characters when I can - SSJ4 Broli]

Tenchi groaned, "If I have to..." If there was a list of things Tenchi did not want to do, being analyzed by Washu was quite high up on his list. Probably number one on the list would be to be locked in a cage naked with Ryoko. That though sent shivers down his spine, since it happened so often, with Ryoko's constant attempts to seduce him. Tenchi followed Washu into her lab, closing the door behind him.

Ayeka watched the entire scene take place, from her seat at the table, where she sipped her tea. "That Washu certainly is devious," she mumbled to herself. She couldn't imagine what kind of bizarre experiments Tenchi was about to endure, and she really had no desire to find out.

Ryoko staggered down the stairs still holding her head. She had woken up a short time ago from that potent saki Ayeka had tricked her into drinking.

"GOOD MORNING," Ayeka shouted, watching Ryoko wince.

"Not so loud!" Ryoko warned in a furious tone.

"Did you have a nice nap?" Ayeka asked in a slightly lower tone.

"I'm going to need to sleep all day to get over this headache," Ryoko mumbled to herself, in what she thought was a barely audible voice.

"How will that be any different than any other day?" Ayeka said. She was enjoying taking shots at Ryoko, since Ryoko didn't seem capable of saying much in her own defense.

In the kitchen

Sasami and Ryo-Ohki heard Ayeka's loud voice, Ryoko's slurred speech. Then there was silence for a time. Eventually a cup shattered, and Ryo-Ohki and Sasami knew that once again Ryoko and Ayeka were fighting.



WASHU'S LAB 3 PM

Tenchi was strapped into a large machine, wires attached all over his body. This was only possible since his pants and shirt lay on a table nearby. "Why is it every time I come into Washu's lab I have to take off my clothes?" Tenchi wondered.

"Alright Tenchi," Washu said looking up from various computer screens, "it appears your multi dimensional patterns are all stable, and I can't detect any irregularities in you blood stream. So I guess you haven't got any colds from any of us. Which means it's time to check your memory!" Washu hit a few more keys, and a bizarre helmet device floated down. Washu walked over to Tenchi, attaching more wires to his face, and setting the machine on his head.

"IS this going to hurt Washu?" Tenchi nervously asked her.

"Of course not silly, now just relax and try not to think. But if you do think about anything, try to stay focused on your date with Ryoko."

"It wasn't a date," Tenchi said trying to make someone believe him.

Washu's eyes glistened as she clasped her hands looking at Tenchi. "My little Ryoko is growing up so fast," she began, "she's becoming a grown woman right before my very eyes. I can't say I approve of you doing things like that with my daughter, especially since you haven't married her yet, but I hope you were gentle with her Tenchi."

Tenchi sighed looking down at his feet. He began to mentally complain, "I hope she starts this machine up soon. At least then she'll stop going on and on about me and Ryoko."

Washu looked at the data on the screen, scanning the various files of Tenchi's mind. There were many to choose from, so many in fact, that Washu could have spent a week going through them all. Eventually she closed down the program, she had no intention of actually searching Tenchi's memories. That was his business. Washu had only wanted to make sure her Mind Reader was working properly. "Ok, Tenchi...," Washu said pretending to sound heart broken, "your story checks out."

"Good," Tenchi said with a sigh of relief, "now can I get down?" Washu pressed a button, and the wires that were on Tenchi popped off, as the straps undid themselves, and Tenchi fell to the ground.

"Sorry about that Tenchi, I guess I need to work on the release mechanism," Washu apologized.

"So are we done now Washu?" Tenchi asked putting his clothes back on, looking down to put his pants on, when he looked up, there was Washu in her adult form staring him in the face.

"Well I can think of something else we can do Tenchi," Washu said her voice a bit deeper in her adult form. [Once again the OVA, which I think is... (slapped on the back of the head) Hey: who the... Oh... Hi Washu. "We don't need your commentary in the middle of my story, SSJ4 Broli, so keep it down or you'll be my new guinea pig!" Yes ma'am]

Tenchi backed up, remembering what happened the last time Washu revealed this form to him. Like Ryoko and Ayeka, she tried to seduce him. "What would that be Washu?"

"Well," Washu began looking in the distance, "we never really have had a chance to talk Tenchi, not as friends." She took his hand, "let me show you a few things I have in the lab here, and we can talk. I can only get so much from my computer scans. I want to know what makes you tick."

"Sure Washu," Tenchi said calming down, a walk seemed harmless enough. Actually this reminded him of Kiyone. He saw her all the time, but really didn't know much about her. This would be a good opportunity to learn more about Washu, who also seemed to know a lot about his past, or at least she hinted at it.

6 PM

Washu and Tenchi stood by the tank that had at one time held the Masu. "So that creature Ryo-Ohki fused with came from in here?" Tenchi asked.

"To be accurate Tenchi," Washu corrected, "There were many Masu's. They fused together and escaped. Ryo-Ohki assimilated many Masu. Ryo-Ohki really does care for you. I didn't think it was possible for her to react to someone else like that. I suppose, I had always assumed that she would only ever know Ryoko, Kagato, and myself. But then again Kagato did turn on me, and I didn't see that one coming." Washu paused reflecting on her past, "which reminds me I'll need to run some more tests on Ryo-Ohki pretty soon. To make sure she's functioning properly. But that can wait I'm sure."

As the walked, Tenchi began to feel more comfortable around Washu. When the day had started, he had thought of her as merely the resident mad scientist, although she was the smartest person in the universe, but now he knew a little more about her, and it helped to ease his nervousness. There were so many questions he had for her, and as his comfort around Washu increased, Tenchi decided it was time to start asking the questions he figured she could answer.

"Washu," Tenchi started, it was time to ask the question he had on his mind for a long time. "When little Taro came to visit us, and you were taking care of him, you said my mother and I were like you and him." Washu nodded, she did recalling saying something like that. Tenchi took a deep breath, then quickly said, "Did you know my mother?"

Washu smiled a bit shocked, "No I didn't Tenchi." Washu knew that this was something important to Tenchi, and so she decided to try and clarify her earlier statement about Tenchi and his mom. "Remember Ryoko and I are connected. I knew all about Ryoko's thoughts on you, and how she watched you from her cave when you were a child. Many times she observed you and your mother playing by the cave happily and full of love."

"I see..." Tenchi was disappointed, he had hoped Washu might have had some new information about his mother, something his father and grandfather hadn't told him. He looked away, thoughts of his mother always got to him.

"Hey Tenchi!" Washu's voice was much higher in pitch now. Tenchi looked in front of him, Washu was back to her little Washu form.

"Yes Washu?" Tenchi said trying to calm his voice.

"I just remembered, you still owe me some cells..." Washu smirked.

"Cell, what are you..." Tenchi realized what Washu was talking about as a pod appeared behind him, once again strapping him in. "Oh No..." Tenchi whined. Just as she had before, Tenchi pleaded to be let go, as Washu changed into a nurse's outfit.

"Ok Tenchi, this time we're going to finish our little experiment." Washu walked toward Tenchi grinning maniacally. Getting Tenchi's sperm cells would serve two purposes, one Washu needed them for a complete analysis of Tenchi, and two it would definitely get his mind off his mother.

"Hello Washu! Playing doctor again I see!" Mihoshi said appearing behind Washu.

"MIHOSHI!" Washu screamed nearly jumping out of her skin, "What do you want!"

"Well, Sasami told me to tell you that... dinner will be ready in about an hour. So I guess now that I've told you, I can go, but how do I get out of here?" Mihoshi asked starting to sound like a lost child.

Pressing a button Washu released Tenchi, it seems Washu was cursed to always have Mihoshi ruin her fun. "Come on Mihoshi, I'll show you the way out," Tenchi staggered to his feet, following after the two women.

7 PM (only a few minutes have passed since Mihoshi arrived)

Washu looked at Tenchi, he was an interesting young man, she decided. There were numerous experiments she still wanted to conduct on him, but then again she had a lot of work she needed to do on other projects. She hadn't spent an entire day with Tenchi, but it had been a great day, and she enjoyed herself.

"Tenchi, it's been a great day, I had a wonderful time. It was a lot of fun, wouldn't you agree?" Washu said.

"Yeah me too Little Washu," Tenchi said nervously he was very happy to be out of her lab.

"REALLY TENCHI!" Washu said, throwing her arms around his waist, "I'm so happy!"

"Well, I think I'll go take a bath now," Tenchi said prying Washu off him. In a flash Tenchi was gone.

Washu smiled, above all else, she still loved making Tenchi nervous, and she was so good at it.





THE KITCHEN AFTER DINNER

"Oh boy Ryo-Ohki! Tomorrow is my day with Tenchi," Sasami whispered as she cleaned the dinner plates. Ryo-Ohki meowed sadly. "Oh don't be silly, of course you can come with us. It's going to be great! We'll get to play all sorts of games, eat watermelon, and spend the whole day with Tenchi!" Ryo-Ohki leapt from Sasami's head, meowing as happily as she did when Tenchi let each Ryo-Ohki have a carrot. [OVA episode 7]

Sasami giggled, "I can see it now Ryo-Ohki, tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day, just like it's been the last five, a warm bright sunny days with clear skies and just a slight breeze!" Sasami smiled, finally after so long, she would get a chance to see her best friend, next to Ryo-Ohki, in the whole world, and no one would take him from her.

MEANWHILE IN THE LIVING ROOM

Washu stared at the screen of the television. It had been a very interesting day, and now she was unwinding. She stood up stretching, "I think I'll take a bath!" Washu decided, Ryoko and Ayeka were probably already there, and Washu guessed Mihoshi and Kiyone were there as well. "I might as well go, it's always fun to see what Ryoko and Ayeka will fight over next, besides Mihoshi will probably end up breaking something I'll have to fix." Washu turned off the television, she had not heard the weather report that had just came on.

"Tomorrow, Rain showers until late in the afternoon, a slight chance that we'll see some sun shine tomorrow folks." The weather man said.

NEXT TIME: Sorry Sasami, looks like your plans may be called off on account of rain. Will Sasami be able to find something to do with Tenchi, or will she miss out? Poor Sasami, but then again someone had to get the short end of the stick.... PART 7 SASAMI (With a little help from Ryo-Ohki)

HA! Now that the fic is over I can say whatever I want. [a large pod descends behind SSJ4 Broli,] uh oh.... "You were warned...."
